rereading Psalms

rereading Psalms
colors of leaves
a deeper gold

SMILE – No. 71, 2013

But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,

that the excellency
of the power

may be of God,
and not of us.

2 Corinthians 4: 7 (KJV)

only now beginning
late-blooming rose
on the bush planted
long before
we came here

today the sun shines

today the sun shines
after much rain
and I think about
art on the walls
and arrangements
how shapes and colors
work together

and also spaces
with nothing more
like a new journal
or blog post
a page of paper
what may yet
be created?

revision

another idea for a post

or poem

a different window
for a new plant

changes in daily life
to support health

revision as life grows
